It was hard, and fast, and games were always frenzied: three minutes of you and a mate kicking the shit out of one another on screen, sometimes followed by scuffles afterwards when the sore loser's wounded pride got the better of them.Īmiga Power called this symphony of sporting carnage the third-best Amiga game of all time. Now every punch was more keenly felt, and matches took on a greater tactical dimension than was possible with the game's predecessor, as the points awarded for each goal could be increased by activating loop-the-loop lights at the side of the… Court? Pitch? Arena? Whatever the nine-per-side teams were competing-cum-brawling in. How that changed come its sequel, 1990's Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe. It had potential, but it wasn't much fun.Ī longplay video of 'Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe.' The original Speedball of 1988 wasn't all that much to write home about, a violent sports sim set in a future of blood and steel, featuring gameplay derived from aspects of handball, hockey, and American football. The Bitmaps-founded by the trio of Mike Montgomery, Eric Matthews, and Steve Kelly-weren't purely focused on relatively straightforward shooters, and between the two Xenon games they laid the foundations for a future title that'd take their reputation higher than ever before. ( About 45 minutes, using invincibility cheats and the like-or if you were good, obviously.) Xenon 2 featured music by Bomb the Bass, but the single track, a slightly altered version of 'Megablast (Hip-Hop on Precinct 13),' got repetitive as hell across the course of the whole game. It sounded amazing, too-at least to begin with. It had The Centurions, which was awesome (and, weirdly, never got a video game spin-off – which I wrote about on Kotaku last year), it didn't have Peter Simon, and there was the small matter of it being somewhere you could see video games on the TV, several years before the advent of Channel 4's GamesMaster.īut Xenon, which actually began life on the ST before landing on the Amiga (sacrilege!), was pretty quickly trumped by its own sequel, bearing the subtitle Megablast and looking slick enough to style your late-80s spiky hair with, which you were only allowed for the summer, while school was off.

Or train a guy to use 'brute force'.Oh, we laugh about its liquid shitness now, but Get Fresh was everything the BBC's rival show in the same weekend slot, Going Live!, was not. Or pressing guy to do PT and lose some weight, for a fee. For example, being able to make a guy a drunkard by 'spending' 2000 gold on spirits. Maybe somebody has some experience with the how things going 'under the hood' and what fields we should be looking for? Maybe its easier to just adjust some values in some txt file? Or, for example, weapon perks does not affect splitshield ability for somereason, maybe just flat out adust it by 25% down?Īnother feature is to be able to manage roster. Same goes with 'Indomitable', does it really needs to cost 3 AP? Or why nimble is set on 50? I feel like 60 is better. For example, I find, that I never use 'adrenaline' perk because it is not bad, but because it costs way more than it should. But I'm not interested in that stuff, so can't elaborate on the subject.įor now, I want to adjust balance by modding values of perks, to make them more 'balanced'.

Comes with a gearbox for ones that like this kind of stuff. Just check a box, set the speed on the settings and you are golden. It gives the option of tailoring game speed to your liking, also saves a ton of time on battle/travel.
